Silverlake is struck by tragedy for the third time this year, with the third fatality of 2015.

A vehicle travelling Southbound on 42nd Avenue crossing Landmark Street struck a pedestrian who was crossing the street. Silverlake Police, Fire, EMS and Peace Officers all attended the scene and at least one individual is in police custody following the incident.

The patient involved in the collision was pronounced dead on the scene despite best efforts of the first responders. The section of the road remains closed while police investigate the incident. As per policy with fatal incidents, Silverlake Police has called in the independent Westlake County Collision Reconstruction Team to further investigate.

Alcohol and speed are believed to be a factor in the incident, but roads were slippery due to the heavy rain the city has been receiving over the past few days.

Police are not releasing any further information at this time.

Silverlake Officers make a presence in your community at all hours of the day to provide you with the best protection. This image was sent to Silverlake Police by a citizen, who captured one of our officers patrolling their community in the early hours of the day.

An Officer of the Silverlake Police Department dips his hat in remorse while standing at his traffic control post at a fatal Motor Vehicle Collision that occurred just behind him.

A Silverlake Police vehicle was involved in a T-Bone collision, after a vehicle ran a red light, and slammed into the drivers side of the police vehicle at a high rate of speed. The driver of the other vehicle fled the scene on foot, and a search is now underway for the driver of that vehicle.

Unfortunately despite the best efforts of the Fire and EMS personnel on scene, the officer in the police vehicle involved, who has yet to be named, passed away on the scene.

This incident is just one of two tragic incidents that happened in Silverlake today, as just earlier this morning, a suspect was shot and killed by police during a pursuit. Police do not believe these two incidents are connected, and do believe speed and alcohol were a factor in the collision.

A Silverlake Peace Officer stopped a commercial vehicle for breaking through the toll barrier without paying the fee. Due to the damage done to City Property, a Police Officer was called to attend.

The Officer was driving a reserve police vehicle, because Silverlake Police Vehicles are being pulled in for a yearly service.

The driver of the commercial vehicle was arrested and charged with Section 107.2(a) of the Silverlake Municipal Act for Failure to Pay Mandatory Toll Fee. He was also charged with Section 182.1(b) of the Silverlake Criminal Code for Damage to Government Property.

To help relieve some of the load placed on the current police services, council has passed the motion to put Peace Officers in place around the City of Silverlake.

"They are not a replacement for our Police. They are a deterrent of crime and are a supplement to the system already in place" said the City Police Chief.

The Peace Officers are armed, however only have the duties to protect and serve Silverlakes Parks, Transit System, and Municipal Buildings. They can also perform traffic duties if the Silverlake Police Traffic Unit is overloaded for any reason.

"The reason they're in place, is because recently Silverlake has had an influx of residents coming into the city, and with a fast growing city, we need more hands"

"Response times from police became tied up, because our officers were in parks and transit systems and weren't able to respond, and all the officers already out on the street were already tied up handling complaints. Having these Peace Officers will help keep the parks protected and in order, and will allow the Police Officers to get back on the street where their services are better provided."

Silverlake already has 30 Peace Officers, who were in the training program since September of last year, when applications were being accepted for Peace Officers.

Peace Officers are put through the same program that the Police are, so that there is no conflicting issues when either agencies are carrying out their duties, and so that it is easier to work together.

The Emergency Services of Silverlake City Pose for a picture as the sun sets just behind them. Silverlake City Emergency Services are dedicated to providing the City of Silverlake and it's citizens the highest quality of service and professionalism.

Officer 2 Martin Jackson of the Silverlake Police joined in May of 2003 and has been one of Silverlakes Finest since then. As a part of our Archives Sharing program, he chose to share his story and a couple of pictures of his career.

Today, OFC 2 Jackson is now one of four supervisors for the Central Silverlake division, and is assigned to the headquarters building.

"Going from being a simple officer to a supervisor was a massive step for me to take, but I'm always up for a challenge" he says.

Since his first shift, Jackson now has several accommodations, and also has the medal of bravery, which he attained in March 2009 due to his efforts to save an individual in a vehicle that was involved in a collision on the peak of Silverlake Mountain. Jackson went to extraordinary efforts to save the individual, despite the great risk of the vehicle potentially tipping and falling off of the peak.

"Joining the Silverlake Police was the best decision I have made. I would never go back." Officer 2 Jackson is the prime example of what all Silverlake Officers should strive to be, and we look forward to having Officer 2 Jackson a part of our team for years to come.

Officer 2 Jackson is also pictured in this recent image taken by a photographer: https://www.lcpdfr.c...verlake-police/



Spoiler Officer 2 Jackson is a fictional name and is used for the roleplay purposed of Silverlake City. Any reference to a real individual is purely coincidental and is NOT intended.

Silverlake Police takes Silverlake Residents back in time by taking one of their old patrol cars and placing it with two newer patrol units. The older patrol car is pictured on the left, with the newer units being in the center and on the right.

The old markings were in service from 2003-2014. Three old patrol cars remain in service for reserve duties and community service duties, and are rarely seen on Silverlake Streets as of this day.
